Genital herpes

Herpes is a generic name for a group of
viruses that cause a variety of diseases.The
ailments people generally associate with
herpes are those that produce small blisters
on the skin, which open and are replaced by
a crust before they heal completely. Genital
herpes is caused by a virus called Herpes
Simplex (HSV2), which causes crusted sores,
commonly around the lips and mouth (“cold
sores”) and the genitalia. The infectious
condition itself is also known as Herpes
Simplex.
The virus is intermittently present in the
mouth of healthy carriers and is spread by
personal contact; genital herpes is spread
mostly by sexual contact with an infected
person and is a venereal disease.
An attack begins with itching of the skin in
the affected area, quickly followed by
redness and swelling. Within a few hours,
fragile blisters (vesicles) appear and rupture
to exude a sticky serum like fluid which
rapidly crusts.
Because herpes blisters individually are the
size of a pinhead or smaller, they may not
be easily visible. Generally, the affected area
will be red, tender, and mildly to severely,
painful. Fever, headache, and general
malaise may also be present.
Genital herpes infections may cause a
painful cervicitis (inflammation of the
cervix) in women, with ulceration and a
vaginal discharge. In men, the genital
infection is usually less severe. However,
those whose immune response is impaired
(such as cancer patients, HIV/AIDS sufferers
or organ transplant recipients) can be very
susceptible to herpes infection.
Genital herpes may be passed from a
pregnant woman to her baby during
delivery. Babies infected during birth by
their mothers’ active genital herpes are very
likely to die or suffer severe brain damage
because they have little or no resistance to
the virus.
The best prospect of
prevention and total cure of genital herpes
is in going back to nature in terms of
personal hygiene, protected sexual contact
and use of potent herbal remedies. Also, a
body kept healthy by proper nutrition and
exercise has the best chance of keeping the
virus under control.
The remedy being suggested for
total cure of Genital Herpes is a combination
of natural extracts of Eugenia
caryophylatta, Citrus lemonis, Euphorbia
unispina, Hypericum perforatum and
Echinacea augustifolia.
